Rhyme Scheme: AB CDEFG HIJKLLMJ| They picked him up in the grass where he had lain two | A |
| days in the rain with a piece of shrapnel in his lungs | B |
| - | |
| Come to me only with playthings now | C |
| A picture of a singing woman with blue eyes | D |
| Standing at a fence of hollyhocks poppies and sunflowers | E |
| Or an old man I remember sitting with children telling stories | F |
| Of days that never happened anywhere in the world | G |

| Shaped for a drive straight ahead | I |
| Bring me only beautiful useless things | J |
| Only old home things touched at sunset in the quiet | K |
| And at the window one day in summer | L |
| Yellow of the new crock of butter | L |
| Stood against the red of new climbing roses | M |
| And the world was all playthings | J |
